Asked the amazing @HouseAutomotive to help install some bits on our 997.....they truly are one of the area's best Porsche focused shops from both a service and tech standpoint.
-Bilstein B16 Damptronic shocks and struts (amazing the ride diff, approx height 25.625" fr, 26.25" rear, still able to navigate driveways, may drop it some more)
-New oem water pump/housing
-New oem shifter cables (Numeric shifter installed)
-New oem engine mounts (amazing how many cabin "rattles" went away)
- @Emc2design 991 front lip

Looks amazing. What were you coming from (what did you remove)? And can you say more about the ride?
Previous owner had the car detailed by a rookie who used aggressive wheeler cleaner and completely stripped the centerlock anodizing. I recently replaced them with RS black CL and black caps.
Are you interested in selling the center caps? I made a boneheaded move and dingedone of mine while removing. Hard to see but I notice it all the time.
I replaced the old battery (dated July 2016) with a new AGM. The purists might not agree with me installing a battery from an Acura though.
Last week, I had a shop install new Delphi ignition coils, NGK plugs and a new exhaust.
As long as the battery is the right size, has the right capacity, and enough CCA, no issue and the AGM is better than lead acid.
Not sure the Delphi ignition coils are as good and I've played around with spark plugs - nothing works as well or for as long as the OEM Bosch, but NGK plugs are good and I run them in some of my other Porsches.

Thank you. Bilstein B6 Damptronics and Eibach springs. Apart from the stance, the ride is night and day different, much less firm in my opinion without any sacrifice in handling, and the adjustability aspect is worth something too.
